Seems like contractions come and go every 6 to 8 minutes, but aren't too intense. No baby yet! On Thursday Nicole was dilated 3cm and had her membranes stripped...the doctor said she'd have that baby by 10pm...but its Saturday now. He'll probably be stubborn like his brother Hudson, who waited until 41 weeks, and then waited for 10 hours on pitocin before starting to move.
It's so funny how the second time around we are much more non-chalant. We waited forever to get baby's room ready, and we just packed a bag Thursday. We haven't cleaned any bottles yet, and the crib is set up but still acting as "storage". We haven't read a single page of a book to prepare ourselves...unlike the many books we read before Hudson. I heard the second kid is like a second-class citizen sometimes!
Well, to update you on other tidbits in our lives, Nicole is officially on maternity leave from her job as a liver surgery and liver transplant physician assistant at Piedmont Hospital. She takes care of transplant patients! How cool! I'll be finished with my second year of cardiology fellowship and will start my third and FINAL year of training (all together, 11 years of medical training). I just found out I will be one of 2 chief fellows at Emory cardiology - what an honor! Hudson is doing really well - I think he is excited about being a big brother...when we talk about it he seems to like the idea...although we'll see if he walks the walk. He's getting so big - he'll be 3 in June, and will be starting preschool in the fall. Barbara is doing fantastic...we believe she's cancer free and living life fully and loves being Hudson's "Baba", right down the street!
Aarish is getting married soon...his bachelor party is in Vegas! By the way, for any wives or girlfriends out there, would you let your husband/sig other go to Vegas for a bachelor party??? =)
More updates soon...
